WHAT'S THE MATTER WIT MA
LOUISIANA? S.
An interesting vacation filled Mc
with pleasure, educational and differ
entertainment features, and all in tl
kinds of athletics .as well as sity
army instruction, with all ex- iner
penses paid, is the offer made to and
the young men of Louisiana who beinj
will attend the Citizens' Military M;
Training Camp at Camp McClel- vari
lan July 27 to August 26, and vers
yet only 34 per cent of Louis- prac
iana's quota has beeni filled. the
Our young men do not realize othe
that this is not an old-fashioned mod
army camp or surely as in Flor- ists
ida and other states, the quota stru
would be filled. part
The object of the C. C. is to dem
L train young men in order that scht
they may be of greater service coi
if an emergency arises. How- mer
ever, any man who attends camp ser
will not be required to join the las
Reserves or National Guard or 1,
- anything else unless he so de- wor
- sires. wisi
No previous military exper- den
t ience is required and any boy 17 Cies
s years of age may apply for ad- 2
I mission to the Red or Elemen- and
I tary Course. Men who have who
Y had experience will be admitteI aca
a to the White Course for non- and
Y commissioned officers or the con
s Blue Course which trains men deg
e for commissions. Men who start 9
their work this summer in the pal
-- red course can take the advanced of
|e courses in succeeding years. wh
h . Young men will benefit great- edi
3t ly mentally and physically. The
"8 work is indorsed by some of our for
d most prominent citizens and I
te every one who has the time ple
"- should attend. If our young mi
a- men permit Louisiana's quota to thI
ir be filled by another state what or
°s will be the result? One thing is ra
sofure: Louisiana's young men
of who can attend camp and-get su
of their commissions and do not do be
s- it, certainly will not become of- co
ad licers, and in case of an emerg- pr
ge ency they will be taking orders V
nd from someone ele.
Its It will be much better for men p1
ny who are not yet settled for life v
ad to go to three one'month camps
and get their commission and be
ci- ready for. something worthi
ol, while in case of emergency. than w
nd it will be to wait until they a V
it- older when such training will be u
he much harder for them and they a
sts cannot get it under such favor- I
of able. circumstances. Certainly ti
ini men who fail to make the best f
ad- of this opportunity cannot kick b
ro- if they have to serve under less 7
hip favorable circumstances later
the on because they refused to take,
in this training. ,
tni Surely what the rest of the a,
igh southern states can do, Louis- 14
iana can equal. Tell your fri eds |
